Raising my kids, moment by moment,
is the hardest thing I have ever done.
because I know it matters.
because I want to do it right.
because I know I won't.
because I still must try.
And mostly because there is no way I can do it alone.
I made this blog as a place to gather the inspiration as well as somewhere to put the ridiculous amount of photos I take, trying desperately to see this crazy time in our lives for what it really is--soul stretching wonderfulness, I won't want to forget.

Things the rest of the world discovered long ago...

Well last time I left her with the boys, I came home to find out they'd gone on all sorts of adventures:

On a roller coaster!

To the mountains!

Flying!

Just fun, fun, FUN!

And now McKye does it all the time. Takes picture after picture. In perfect 2 year-old narcissistic style.With a running commentary of:"Oh cute!" "Funny! Is funny!" "Kye!!!" giggle, giggle.

So I thought I'd try it. I sent this to Ben while he was away this weekend, pretty sure it made him wicked miss me.

Yup, we're one good looking family.

So once the kids wen to bed, I convinced Ben to give it a whirl.

This one's the best, Ben was laughing so hard by the time it took the picture.

So then he tried to be a bit more serious (the first time I discovered the "chipmunk" effect, I sat down to the computer and McKye had left photo-booth open, I was eating chips...yup I was a chipmunk munching on chips...real cute!)

About Me

My attempt. Blogging is something that has intrigued me for a long time. But I just didn't know what I wanted my blog to be. I felt it SHOULD be our family journal, one you could print out and feel like I did my mommy-duty of recording our family's life. But I think what I NEED it to be, is somewhere my thought can STICK. I spend A LOT of time talking (on the phone especially), and thinking about stuff (mostly the gospel, my kids, my marriage and who I am, or hope to be) and it doesn't really go anywhere... other than in my friends ears, I guess. So I'm gonna try and put it all (who am I kidding!) okay, SOME of it on this blog. We'll see...
